Mated To Four Chapter 32
ALEJANDRA.My stomach is in knots as I get ready for school on Wednesday. I’m anxious to go to class, anxious to see how people react, and even more anxious to see how my guys react if people are mean to me. I don’t see how any of this is going to end well for me.When I woke up this morning, Puma and Forrest were both asleep in my bed. I love how I’ve come to just expect them to be there. It’s not even surprising anymore. I know they’re there because they want to protect me. Well, it’s more than that. I know they want to be there to be close to me and I want that as well.The guys leave me alone to get ready, but as I am fixing my hair, there is a knock on my door.“Come in,” I yell from the bathroom. I peek out the door and watch Phoenix walk in.Phoenix is… beautiful. I can see why my sister had a crush on him. Maybe it’s his dark brown eyes or his hair that isn’t long enough to be considered hipster, but it’s getting there. All he needs is a beanie, a coffee shop, and slam po

ALEJANDRA.School is just as bad as I thought it would be.Well, that’s not exactly true. Some part of me thought it would be worse. I thought maybe people would call me names or that they would be mean to me, but that isn’t the case. I should’ve known better, though. The guys would never allow that.No, instead, they’re all just staring at me. They’re not talking. They’re just… looking. And because of it, I feel very anxious.The weather is a little cool today, which is not normal for early September. Even the wind is blowing, making me think a storm must be blowing in. For some reason, the weather makes me even more anxious, like something big is about to happen.Forrest, who is standing closest to me as we walk to the dining hall for lunch, squeezes my hand. My guys form a circle around me. After what happened with that Daniel guy, the guys want to make sure nobody else gets close enough to accidentally touch me.Part of me thinks it’s sweet that the guys want to protect me.

ALEJANDRA.After everything that happened today, I still am excited for tonight. I take the time to change out of my school clothes and put on a pretty dress. I even curl my hair.I want to look pretty tonight.Tonight is my first date. And okay… maybe we’re on an island and can’t actually do normal date things, but I don’t care. I still consider this a date and I’m going to enjoy every second of it.I feel like I should be nervous, but I’m not. Yeah, it’s my first date, but my first date is with somebody I am going to spend the rest of my life with. I’m already comfortable around Phoenix. And the thought of him kissing me at the end of the night gives me butterflies in my stomach. I’m excited. I hope he kisses me. If he doesn’t, maybe I’ll be bold enough to kiss him.I push those thoughts away, knowing the guys could be listening to my thoughts right now. I like to think they aren’t always listening, but you never know.I really have to learn how to block them.There is a knoc

ALEJANDRA.It’s time to stop avoiding Margot Westwood. I mean, she’s my aunt.My mom never wanted to give me away. Neither did my aunt. But it was my mother’s dying wish for me to be put somewhere I would be safe. The sacrifices that both my mom and my aunt made… I can never repay those.I want to have a relationship with my aunt. At first, I didn’t think I would because I was so overwhelmed. But it’s because of my aunt that I have the family I do. She put me with the most amazing Mom and Dad. And because of her I have the world’s best siblings. The least I can do it talk to her and try to get some answers. I can talk to her and try to build a relationship with her. I think it’s what my mom would want. I mean, certainly they knew I would end up here eventually, right? Someday I would figure out that I’m not human. Maybe it wouldn’t be until I was in my forties and still looked like somebody in my early twenties. Or maybe I would’ve figured it out on my own especially since I’ve sta

ALEJANDRA.Forrest is quiet as we head back to the house. In fact, he hasn’t even looked at me since we left Margot’s office. I think he’s a little mad that I asked Margot to teach me how to block my thoughts.Blocking my thoughts is surprisingly easy and yet complicated at the same time. I think it’s easier for the guys because they’ve known their whole lives how to block their thoughts. It’s muscle memory for them. For me, I have to actually think about physically blocking my thoughts.Imagine a wall, Margot had told me.A wall?That’s easy.The hard part is keeping the wall up. The second I’m distracted the wall moves. I don’t know if that’s normal, but it’s what happens to me.As soon as we get back to the house, Forrest heads upstairs to his room. I watch his retreating form, wondering if I should say something to him.“What’s wrong with Forrest?” I ask Desmond, who is standing closest to me.Desmond simply shrugs.Boys.I sigh and decide to just ask him myself. I walk

DESMOND.I can smell Alejandra’s desire.We all can.It’s all I can do to sit on the couch and not force myself to go upstairs and get involved in whatever Alejandra and Forrest are doing.Kissing.They’re just kissing.But Alejandra wants more.Everything inside of me screams that I should be jealous about what is happening upstairs, but I’m not. Even my wolf is calm. He’s fine with what’s happening.This is new for all of us. Sharing a mate isn’t what any of us expected. Still, I don’t regret this. In fact, I like that I share a mate. I like that there are three other guys here to protect her aside from me. And the fact that I’m sharing a mate with my three best friends is the best part.“How did they go from fighting to that?” Puma asks as he sits on the couch beside me. He looks amused. “Do you think Alejandra would be up for me joining?”I laugh, shaking my head. “They’re not completing their mate bond.”“I know. I still want to join.”Puma and I are the only ones who

ALEJANDRA.I love the feeling of waking up on Saturday morning and knowing that I don’t have to go to school. I know I shouldn’t feel this way about Shifter Academy—the school is important to the guys. I should learn to like it. But right now, I’m having a very hard time, so I’m glad that it’s Saturday and I don’t have to worry about going there today.I need to talk to Puma. After what happened last night, I feel kind of bad. Even though it was his turn to stay in my room, he didn’t come in. Phoenix and Desmond stayed with me and both are still asleep next to me. I carefully climb out of bed. Usually I wake them, but I manage to get up successfully. I grab a dress from my closet and go to my bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the day.I have no idea what we’re doing today, but I’m hoping we will go to the beach at some point. Back home, Zaire, Katherine, and I went to the beach every single weekend. Not just to hang out, sometimes we’d go there and do our homework. Someth

ALEJANDRA.Alpha Romano went home last night, which I’m glad for. I just… I feel like I’m a disappointment to him and to the entire pack. I’m the future luna… the future queen… whatever I am… but I’m not strong. I can’t even use whatever powers I have if I need them. They just come randomly and I know he’s disappointed in me, how can he not be? I’m sure he hates that his son is stuck with such a dud of a mate.I make sure to keep my wall up while I think those kind of things. The last thing I want is for Forrest to know how I feel. I know he hates it when I block my thoughts, but how can I tell him how I feel?Gah… I’m so lame. I should have more confidence in myself.“You should.” Forrest rolls over and looks at me.My heart races because he scared me.“How much of that did you hear?” I ask.“Everything.” He sighs, shaking his head. “You know, when we’re touching, your block thing doesn’t work. Just like I can’t block you out when we’re touching.”“Yeah, but your thoughts are
